Hi ! This is in abslute the first time that I post a project on the web.
My passion for the electronics and later for the programming began when I was eleven years old.
At that time , early 1970 , the terms “makers” or “nerd” probably were not jet invented or at leat used in Italy,and I was just a child that instead that play football was playing with some resistors, capacitors removed from some old radios.
Anyway , that passion started in the '70 , now that I'm fifty-two years old , still live and the curiosity to learn new things never end and thanks to the new opportunities offered in the last 10-15 years by new technology and products as Arduino, Raspberry Pi and PyBoard it's growing.
This project is a simple weekly timer , nothing of so exiting or complex if compared with some project done around those boards, but has helped me to learn new things in areas like MicroPython ,Processing2 and PyBoard.
I share it , hoping that could be usefull for others that like me wants start to play around these things.
In this project I use upower.py module written by Peter Hinch https://github.com/peterhinch/micropython-micropower. Ensure to have installed upower.py in the pyBoard together with the irrigatoreBT V07.py
Give a look to upower documentation to better understand how it works.
Enjoy with MicroPython and pyBoard !
October 2018 : Note : due to some changes occurred on upower.py module to be compatible with new micropython version this project can work only with a micropython version like pybv10-2015-11-13-v1.5-117-gf882d53.dfu and an old version of upower.py. New version of upower was not tested by me on this project yet.
Roberto.
